Haydock's commentary
Lord, who is about to quit the temple, and to abandon the Jews to their internal dissensions, and to the arms of the Romans. Many prodigies announced this judgment. (Calmet)
One Jesus cried for seven years and five months, "Woe to the temple," &c. At last he cried, "Woe to myself;" when he was shot dead. (Josephus, Jewish Wars vii. 12.) (Tacitus, Hist. v.)
Angels were heard crying in the temple, "Let us go hence." (Josephus)
There was contradiction in the city, Psalm liv. (St. Jerome) (Worthington)
